06/14/23 CHOOSE YOUR FOUNDATION OF FAITH CAREFULLY

I visit Christian internet sights that claim their intent is to prove the historicity of the Holy Bible, which is a worthy intent. However, part of their actual work is presenting their own doctrinal views, which is valid, but it is easy to mislead people into thinking that their own, and sometimes peculiar, beliefs are part and parcel with trusting the genuineness and authority and infallibility of the Holy Bible.

There is nothing wrong with offering arguments concerning specific issues or doctrines, but folks need to be discerning. Even if a person or a group is right about one thing, it does not mean that they are right about other issues.

This is more disturbing when the extraneous teaching is actually a matter of interpretation. After all, anyone can claim that a belief is from the Bible. This is how the cults have ensnared millions of people.

I also teach what I believe to be true, but I direct folks to check my teaching against the word of God. I realize I teach concepts which are not popular with modern Christianity, but I build my arguments on what the Bible actually says and has been recognized as historically aligned with the teachings of the apostles.

Remember, God directs believers to be careful and diligent in finding and following His truth.
2 Timothy 2:15
15 Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.
